In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

The left CCP sympathies are in full display in the “Joe Biden” CNN “town hall,” i.e., his refusal to condemn genocide. “Different cultural norms.”
CCP aims to “hollow out” western institutions, just as it has hollowed out the religious and cultural life and history of Tibet and “Xinjiang.”
I am, from this moment, refusing to go along with those who aim to or enable hollowing out of traditional U.S. and Judeo-Christian institutions.
In particular, I am going full-throttle pro-Catholic Church, against its socialism trends, and against mindless family members who willingly sacrifice a precious cultural institution so that they can bask in self-righteous right-think! They do not realize they while they are giving up irreplaceable heritage the other side gives up nothing.
You want to accuse me of “enabling” sex abuse? Go right ahead. I can see more clearly than I used to that the underage-sex scandal (which involved a small percentage of clergy) was for the left not merely an opportunity to ensure justice for victims but a means to undermine and destroy the institution and Christianity itself. The same for every scandal of evangelical preachers or gun abuse, etc. Do Hollywood or Congress or teacher unions suffer endless attacks and financial loss due to underage sex predators or violence/firearms abuse? Of course not.
Any institution that does not fight back will be a loser in the cultural battle. If VSGPDJT has taught me anything, it is to never apologize to the left!
(And R.I.P Rush Limbaugh, rest in peace. Thank you. Thank you.
Never let the get away with the sex abuse slander. There is far, far more sex abuse in secularized institutions than in church-run ones.
Requiem for a great man. What a stretch of time this has been. Nary a soul can fill Rush’s shoes, but just thinking out loud, maybe Lou Dobbs? Pass the baton….
No different than when the pressitutes gave the Crimson Kenyan a pass after a radical muslim extremist murdered four people at a Jewish market in France soon after the attack at Charlie Hebdo when he said something to the effect –
“It’s just a random shooting of a bunch of people in a deli”.
Pathetic.
“Crimson Kenyan”….I like it….My favorite was from Aggie57 – taupedope
One in the same, and yes, pathetic
Some people did something.
Bronco Bama!
Well said!
Experiencing the same stuff you are re family and Church. It is good to hear your solidarity. Heart
Over twenty years ago a fine priest was ruined because of accusations from a 90-year old mother with dementia!
She claimed her son died 30 years earlier because of abuse from this priest, a man whose office door was literally always open, a man whose reputation during my 25 years in the school was sterling.
The order panicked, refused to point out the ridiculousness of the charge, refused to challenge the competence of the nonagenarian with senile dementia, and forced the priest to retire out of state.
How many other priests were ruined because fraudsters wanted a payday? We will never know, but I suspect more innocent priests were ruined than guilty ones stayed unknown.
Ausonius- I wonder if you are familiar with the story of Fr. Gordon MacCrae. He has a blog called Beyond these Stone Walls. Fr. MacCrae is an innocent priest who was falsely accused of sexual abuse and ended up in prison.
After reading about him and researching his story, I am now convinced that like everything else with the media, many if not most of the Church’s sexual abuse scandal is contrived. There are thousands of “professional plaintiffs” who’ve made a bundle by suing the Catholic church.
Thanks for the information! No, I have not heard about him.
And scumbag lawyers – like the ones “representing” that 90-year old dementia patient – saw the scandal as a way to get rich quick and shake down diocese after diocese (or order after order).
Some “professional plaintiffs” I can agree with but “contrived” I find thoroughly disrespectfull,lacking empathy and very dissapointingly low information.
signed,
Victim.
I also knew a victim. He took his own life. Simply look to the Boy Scouts and see, evil infiltrates and subverts when permitted. What I find unbelievable is the shell game often played by the dioceses by simply reassigning these offenders elsewhere, instead of bringing the hammer of justice down upon them, which they so rightfully deserve.
Peace be with you.
Mungral- I did not mean to show disrespect to any victims of abuse by Catholic priests and/or any other members of that wretched organization and I apologize profusely for not measuring my words more carefully such that you found them upsetting. It was not my intention.
Please know that I am no fan of the Catholic Church and long ago walked away from that corrupt organization. I have absolute contempt for all of them right on down to my local parish priest who is a woke horror.
That being said, a few years ago I started reading about Fr. MacCrae and the terrible injustice that was inflicted on him thanks in no small part to the Catholic Church that he served. Reading his articles and then communicating with him has convinced me of his innocence and put the Church abuse scandal in a whole other light.
I do not mean to denigrate anyone who was victimized by these monsters and that includes others besides those who were sexually abused. See what atrocities were committed by Catholic priests and nuns in Ireland in the orphanages and homes for unwed mothers and your stomach will turn.
I was merely trying to point out that there is a subculture of “professional plaintiffs” who have used the suffering of real victims to line their pockets.

Biden’s ramblings are terrible.
Imagine how much worse they would be if his handlers were not feeding him answers through an ear piece?
If only there was a way to make it malfunction.
Just heard my liberal co worker ranting about how great this town hall was? It’s as if they don’t believe what they see or hear anymore unless it comes from CNN and the main stream media.
Every time I run across someone as your co-worker. I thank the good Lord I am not one of them. Can you imagine the World they live in? It is too bad they don’t live in a different physical World of their own. God wasn’t thinking when he put them here living among us.
Make the earpiece malfunction or make him malfunction? Either way is fine by me.

If they do announce her as VP, Harris better hire a whole new bevy of bodyguards.
They only have 6,000 National Guard troops now as bodyguards. Thanks to the Merica taxpayers.
Andrew Pollack, father of Parkland student Meadow Pollack who was murdered by shooter Nikolas Cruz, blasted Joe Biden’s exploitation of the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting to push draconian gun control regulations that amount to a virtual repeal of the Second Amendment, saying none of Biden’s plans would have prevented the mass shooting tragedy at Meadow’s school and that “Biden’s wishes are a lie.”

Why do you think Pelosi is retaining the National Guard? I think it’s because Harris will be President with Pelosi as VP after Biden steps down.
This could be seen as a very unsatisfactory arrangement. What do you, think?

So is Biden or FEMA going to help out Texas?
Who knows, Joe sure doesn’t!
I don’t think we could survive their help but thanks just the same.
biden couldn’t help himself let alone Texas
CNN didn’t mention it to joe yet; so no.
At the CNN Townhall last nite, Biden suggests black people in inner city don’t know how to use the internet. Sounds exactly like the Uni students that Ami Horowitz interviewed a few yrs. ago.
Biden has always been racist. This is no surprise.
No, it’s not a surprise.
Nor is CNN letting him just glide by it w/o comment a surprise.
Hopefully more and more people are waking up because of it, but I doubt many Dem Voters actually watched Joe’s Townhall last nite.
I’m thinking most of the views were probably from Trump voters waiting to see Joe stick his foot in his mouth.
Yeah….and Trump is the racist….maybe Biden actually lives in his fantasy world where they are spending too much time feeling up his legs…what an ass and what a shitty thing to state……another ‘looking glass’ moment…how frickin’ ridiculous is this clown of a president (lower case purposeful)…
Maybe he should be called ‘Mario’ rather than Biden…such a loser….

Never Happen – Image is all they have left
The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie Thompson announced that he has filed a federal lawsuit accusing, President Trump of “inciting the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and of conspiring with his lawyer and extremist groups to try to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.’
The suit, will be dropped because the Speaker of the House Pelosi is sure to be called in discovery, and she is so close to becoming VP, she can almost smell it. And, because this same discovery would open up the entire Congress, to questions concerning their part in inciting, the deadly riot on Capitol Hill.
Not to mention because it violates about 50 principles of law. Representative Thompson did not suffer any injury that is redressable at law, so he has no standing to sue. Political questions are not handled by the courts. This will get dismissed outright, if it’s ever actually filed. It’s just a publicity stunt.
This guy knows a secret about getting thru a (non – life threatening) mess- laughter is the best medicine.
Sometime when life happens you just gotta chuckle!!! Good for him.
This is an accurate portrayal of most Texans response to this situation. True in this house for sure and most everyone I have been in contact with over the past few days. We just shake our heads and laugh and ask ok, what is next?
Been crazy.
God love ya!
Several tweets here re. pipes bursting in TX. There’s gonna be a run on construction and plumbers down there when this is over.
What. A. Mess.
https://twitter.com/djordxc/status/1361824228475957251?s=20
Seems like people didn’t get the word out fully enough on how to prevent burst H2O pipes. Cities, Counties, Landlords, Local News, radio, etc.
I know a lot of people down there are unfamiliar w/ frozen pipes. But hopefully, they’ll learn how to avoid ’em next time around.
But but if I trickle the water, that is wasting precious water…….or if gone, turn off water and totally drain pipes so space for water to expand.
These are cities and so their mental acumen is not up to the task of life skills 101.
These are probably the same people who have no idea where food comes from or how it gets to stores.
Troll.
Don’t know about that. I think the two go hand in hand.
IMHO the word got out sufficiently. The problem was the shift to so-called “renewable” electricity degraded the system capacity by about 20% of the MegaWatts available which was a decisive shortfall.
No electricity to run natural-gas fired heaters in buildings. Open cabinets to cold air won’t help.
No electricity for water systems to maintain pressures, we did the “drip faucets” thing but the water pressure dropped to nothing – can’t drip faucets if not water flow.
It was the so-called “renewable energy” that was the weak link. “Renewables” rendered all other planning moot.
Yeah, but wouldn’t you think that a landlord would drain the pipes if all of the above was the case?
Either way you’ve got problems, but if I owned the property, I’d rather not deal w/ the absolute mess caused by flooding thruout the bldg.
….unless they’re just planning on chalking it up to Insurance Payoff.
(opening cabinet at sink will help. Cuz it’s always warmer inside – even if “freezing ” inside! – than outside, no matter how badly insulated the bldg. is!. Of course, all that needs to be done *before* the pipes freeze!)
Anyway, I feel bad for these people, no matter what this is, at the very least, a pain in the a$$.
A few years ago Michael Berry would play soundbites of a local reporter who every time it got “cold” would shout “don’t forget to wrap your pipes!!”. Seems they forgot this time. Guess a lot of people in Texas are finding out it CAN happen there. Always be prepared.
And the people “saving” money using water instead of anti freeze just got a lesson on expansion and contraction.
Lol
probably a wet fire sprinkler system bursting judging from the volume
I’m a Northern transplant of 22 years to Tejas. I have to tell you that leaving a trickle of water doesnt cut it in -1 degree temps. The entire state is not engineered with the idea that the temp could ever get that low. We have an old farmhouse, and because we’re kind of prepperish in our lifestyle we had lots of food, water, propane (100 pound tanks), a cord of hardwood, 500 pounds of coal, and countless electric heaters… Oh and we have 46 300 watt solar panels attached to the grid (learned our lesson on that one) Tesla batteries are next… No more Grid at all for us…
We have survived better than most here. burned a good amount of the full cord, which we supplement with coal in our custom made woodstove. Still the poor insulation under the house and even in the walls has caused some pretty bizarre things. we have cold running water, but the hot pipes have frozen – apparently they didnt insulate those as well. We never would have known to check. Our Well froze but we quickly got it thawed out. and we are OK – but our neighbors even in newer homes are completely shut down – no electricity, and you need electricity to keep the water and lights working. Because of our solar we are hooked up to a different grid – we havent had the issues all our neighbors have. If we could run extention cords a half mile to them, we would. Anyway, people down here just dont ever have to deal with this kind of cold. Its just not supposed to happen. It did. 2021 is turning out to be a good competitor to 2020. We’re losing our country, we’ve lost Rush, we’re having to deal with crap no Texan ever dreamed they’d have to face… What’s next?
We are having the same problem here in Mississippi. Who puts water heaters in unheated attics?? The insulation over the pipes wasn’t good enough in 8 degree temps. Pipes burst, collapsed the ceiling and flooded the house which is now freezing. Kids in a motel and Grama sitting the dogs. Huge mess. On a positive note, we haven’t lost power.

Unless our elected officials protect the votes, they don’t deserve a vote. So far, I don’t see one single state or federal congress person working towards that end.
And in Portland , OR. – where the cops are prevented from helping people and businesses that are being attacked by Antifa – they *are* put on duty to protect dumpsters full of food that Fred Meyer Grocery has thrown from it’s freezers, etc. during the blackout there.
People are trying to get at the food, cops are preventing them.

Thank the lawyers. Liability of uncooked food. And it’s all insurance writeoff. I worked environmental for 20 years. Hurricane Katrina. Your basic big box stores with tents, sleeping bags, grills, life’s basics. All had to be destroyed for liability reasons. Tents and sleeping bags knifed and torn.
Pretty sad. Cuz I’ve lived in areas where a store in that kind of shape would notify Food Banks, etc. to come get it and distribute before it goes bad.
And, no matter the cause, it does seem ironic that you can burn a business down in Portland and walk free, but can’t grab a semi-frozen hot dog out of the dumpster.
Does anyone here know what happened to Paul Sperry twitter account? It shows account suspended –

It does look like his account was suspended.
Recently Paul Sperry tweeted about Mitch McConnell’s in-laws. The drug bust story:
If you recall, his wife, Elaine Chao’s father, had his ship busted with over 90 million dollars worth of cocaine hidden in the locker,( in Columbia, a few years ago) .
Also, that Mitch and the wife received a 25 million gift from her daddy dearest!
Things that make you go humm.
I’ m sure Mitch didn’t appreciate that dirty laundry being aired again.
This is disgusting that Coumo can get away with this! He is a murderer and is still the governor of NY.
As he laughed and hammed it up with his brother on CNN. Disgusting.
I think the left has decided to throw Cuomo and Newsom overboard as a symbol that they are “not afraid to censure” their own leadership, probably hoping to get the Republicans to do the same to Donald Trump…
Nah, they’re just stepping up cuz they’ve finally had it with the corruption. They’re probably getting a fair amount of feedback from Constituents who’ve had it, too. And they’re trying to distance themselves.
Their disastrous handling of Covid exposed these two jerks. Big League.
Hopefully, Whitmer is next.
Great response from Kim.
Got a solicitation from RNC today in the mail “on behalf of PDJT” to renew my RNC something or other. I spent the price of a stamp to tell them they wouldn’t get another penny as long as Mitch is senate leader. Mentioned that I couldn’t see how PDJT would want me subsidizing the man who recommended him for criminal prosecution after betraying him with a sham impeachment trial.
I seriously doubt it came on behalf of PDJT. I would send it to someone in the PDJT camp and let them know the RNC is lying for donations.
I got one too. They sent me a pre-paid stamped envelope. I used it to tell them what I thought of them.

https://rumble.com/vdvyap-lin-wood-fireside-chat-12-breaking-down-allegations-against-justice-roberts.html
I don’t know who is running the ship in Texas but it is in serious trouble.
My sister lives in Austin and she had 3 days of no power; no heat and her condo went down to 35 degrees. She is 70 years old. Today her power came on at least temporarily.
The road are still not derivable and the sidewalks are sheer ice. They opened a “warming center” a block away but no one can get to it with endangering their live driving or endangering their lives walking.
The Red Cross is no where to be found. The city of Austin is no where to be found. People are laying in their beds which is the only place to stay warm. She said she could hardly eat it was too cold to do anything.
Where are the police? Where is the emergency response. Why are the police/RedCross not going to neighborhoods with Hot coffee urns, bull horns, anything to help people freezing to death in their homes with no telephone service, no radio, no tv…no way to communicate or hear what is going on.
Fortunately for my sister her power came on today; she said she could not have stayed another day there and would have had to try walking to the warming center.
This is a huge scandal and when this is over I fear they will find many dead bodies in their homes..dead from hypothermia. Such a disgrace.
We pay people to think through these issues. ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) should have all leaders fired immediately. GW Bush should be fingered for responsibility for his bill signed in 1999 making wind power mandates. Perry holds responsibility as well. They are responsible for letting grandma freeze in darkness. Damn them all.
The Mayor of Austin needs to resign immediately. Who would allow people to die in their beds with no assistance from anyone. My sister is so furious…she said no one cares about them, the so-called leaders all live downtown where the power never went out. They tell people to go to heating centers with no way to get there…police must be sitting in a warm room with the Mayor..why are they not out there with bullhorns and urns of coffee…it is a huge scandal and unbelievable.
Sister said a state emergency has to be declared for Red Cross to help…I tried calling the Austin Red Cross, not a mention of the current emergency, now way to get a person on the phone and they are always begging for money…here is phone number of Austin Red Cross: 512-928-4201…good luck; they only have a way to contact them when they are begging for money to pay their big fat salaries. Here is the phone number for the disgraceful Mayor Steve Adler sitting in his heated condo in downtown Austin: 512-978-2110. I’ll be calling him tomorrow. Also my sister is in District 10, NW Austin where people are freezing to death in their beds; her city council person will be getting a call also. Despicable heartless Democrats…every single one of them.
Meanwhile Biden was busy playing video games at camp David- shameful – let’s hope this situation wakes the Austin liberal voters up
It won’t; they’ll blame it on the governor.
Your sister needs to start boiling her water – if she has any. Just posted the Austin notice, below.
Like cities across the nation and world, major cities in Texas have fully embraced “Resilient City” and other urbanization agendas drive by UN Agenda 21.2030.
“Rsilient” means pushing high density urbanization while ignoring the needed infrastructure. This soon leads to all manner of “crisis” like flooding, blackouts, shortages, and letting us deal with it. Then they remind us it is climate change and that we all need to pay and give up rights.
Power outages here in/around Harris Co is 24-35 hours, some longer. We are on hour 13. Didnt have water for about 10 hours. Got a generator and “left over gas” from hurricane season. Tomorrow night is going to be colder than tonight. Scored a bit more wood for the fireplace.
A bit colder than after Ike, but we did 14 days without power after Ike. Those that are prepared for hurricanes are better off than those who do not.
Oh, absolutely, if you’ve been through a hurricane you at least have some idea of how to be prepared.
This is Aaron Russo, and made in 2006. This is long but you will thank me.
To say nothing of the existing Supreme Court and “Joint Chiefs of Staff” Because they have done nothing when confronted with massive election fraud.
OUTRAGEOUS: After Abandoning Trump and Allowing Landslide Election to be Stolen, Republican “Leaders” Now Want to Look Into Election Integrity – What Garbage!
Republican elites don’t care.
They just want our money. Go to hell.

Soloman as too many Tic Tok’s” as evidence. I think it’s mostly “Click Bait”.

Ya think?
More fake N95 masks seized – 10 million. Were destined for frontline workers. Pretty sure we can thank China for this, again (happened before when the Covid sh*tshow 1st started).

Just an FYI From :
ACTION ALERT 2 Federal Legislation
Contact Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Rick Scott to Drop Support of Gun Confiscation Bill S 292
Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott (are) acting more like California Democrats than Florida Republicans.
Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott just announced they’re teaming up with radical anti-gun Democrats to push a “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation bill, S. 292.1
S.292 is a bill to provide family members of an individual who they fear is a danger to himself, herself, or others, or law enforcement, with new tools to prevent gun violence.2
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
We need to stop this trend of Republican-sponsored gun confiscation in its tracks.
Demand they withdraw their “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation bill and stop trying to appease the gun grabbers immediately
Email Senators Rubio and Scott today. Your message can be as simple as:
As a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, I demand you withdraw your support for S. 292, unconstitutional “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation.
Enter your email at these addresses:

Don’t live in FL but will definitely email. Non-gun owners are incredibly ignorant when it comes to red flag laws. They refuse to acknowledge the extreme danger posed to gun owners by enacting a ‘law’ that lets their property be taken away based on the word of an angry relative, neighbor, or co-worker.
In Cambodia under Pol Pot, in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and in every other dictatorship an unproven accusation or mere complaint against you could get you arrested, tortured, imprisoned, and most likely killed. Red flag laws are no different. A false denunciation gets your private property taken (I’ve known men with collections valued at up to $1m) away, gives you very limited time to respond (sometimes as little as 15 days) to preserve your property, costs you tons of money, damages your reputation, and makes life a living hell; the equivalent of dying every day as the cr@p drags on. All because of some deranged psychopath with a grudge against you.
Red flag laws violate the equal protection clause and the 4th amd right to be secure in papers and possessions. These do gooder RINO’s are very stupid to endorse them.
As a tribute to Rush, can we change the title from “…Resistance Day #…” to “…America held hostage: Day…”?
Abbot finally calls up National Guard. Not sure what took him so long.
https://www.khou.com/article/weather/national-guard-texas-freeze-power-outage/285-70a041fb-d113-416f-bbec-99e6ad48ba48
**** Just noticed this article is actually from MONDAY/ Feb 15. So Abbott called up the Guard a couple days ago, but it was not widely reported At. All.****
Which is also pretty weird.
Saw elsewhere that FEMA was called upon on Sunday – also not widely reported. I wonder what they’re doing in Texas to help people (and animals). Several stories read this evening (Austin area) are not portraying anything good.
There’s no way that companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook or Microsoft, no matter how progressive the CEO, would give anyone a vote in the management or direction of their business who isn’t a shareholder. On top of that the shareholder can only get his say in proportion to the number of shares he owns. In other words the shareholder has paid for his vote and his voice in the decisions of the business. The framers of the Constitution had the same criteria when they gave the right to vote to landowners. Why do we allow Gimmedats who either pay no federal taxes or collect welfare or are newly arrived immigrants the right to vote when they haven’t paid for shares in the United States? Someone who is on welfare can vote for taxpayers to pay more taxes so they can get more welfare? A convicted felon can vote for a judge or DA who won’t enforce the law putting felons in prison? How is this not going to end in a disaster?
